What I remember is that something had happened to Spike that had left him injured enough that he was unconscious technically but could still hear what was going on around him and Xander was taking care of him in his parents' basement. I remember that Xander's dad shows up and Xander hides Spike in his closet and Spike is forced to listen while Xander's dad beats him. Unfortunately that's really all I remember from the fic so I hope it's enough that someone knows which one I'm talking about.
Thanks!
